Children's Language Development

Children's language development refers to the process through which infants and toddlers learn to communicate verbally. It begins with cooing and babbling and evolves into recognizing sounds, forming words, and constructing sentences. Key factors influencing this development include exposure to language, interaction with caregivers, and social experiences. Typically, children acquire vocabulary and grammar by listening and engaging with others, reflecting their growing understanding of the world. Milestones, like saying their first words around one year and forming simple sentences by age two, are common indicators of this important developmental stage.
